Blake's updates!

Things have been busy busy lately! It's been quite the adjustment getting used to South FL, but I'm finally starting learn my way around without constantly using the gps...hurray! Add in a trip to Jax and some house hunting and things have just been plain crazy.

We had Blake's orthopedic appointment and 2 month check up on Monday. Good news, but not quite as good as I'd hoped. The good news is that his hips are 100% done! Downside: four more weeks in a new contraption to make sure nothing regresses. This new brace is definitely a downside, maybe it's just because I'm not used to it yet but to be honest I think I preferred the Pavlik harness. This one is made out of semi-flexible foam with Velcro straps, and basically looks like an extra diaper. It took me about 3 weeks out of the 6 total that he wore the Pavlik harness for me to get used to it; this time around I'll probably just be getting used to it before it gets taken off, lol. Oh well, what can you do. Upside: he can wear his clothes underneath, which eliminates the need to buy super large pants and he can wear his sleepers again! And he can take a real bath.

His pediatric appointment went well! He is a whopping 13.1 pounds (85th percentile) and in the 65th percentile for height. Took his shots like a champ. Such a different experience this time around, having such a chunk baby! Logan was always in the lower percentiles and had more eating/weight concerns. I do have to say that I enjoy having a bigger baby this time around, he is a much better sleeper.
